LORD GIFFORD. We understand the following elegant portrait ol Lord Gifford is from the pen of Sir James Mackintosh, who, as the intimate friend of. his Lordship, had ample opportunities of duly appreciating his amiable character, both in public and private life. 'lbis tribute of affection _is, not more honourable to the memory of his Lordship, than creditable to the genius and kindly feelings of the writer.] (From the Morning Chronicle.) . . . Few men will be i more deeply deplored by their family, or more tenderly remembered by their friends.—His own affectionate nature secured for him the warm regard of those who were near enough to see into his character. His mind, unstained. by vice, had no need of concealment, and was at liberty to indulge its native frankness. He was un assuming,• unaffected, mild, friendly, indulgent, and, in inti mate society, gently playful.., His attachments were con stant, his resentment (for he had,no enmity) was hard to provoke, and easily subsided. In his last moments, he was sustained by the domestic affection and religious hope which had cheered his life. His natural simplicity and modesty were unspoiled by rapid elevation and splendid prospects of ambition; and if these retiring virtues could without losing their nature, be generally known, they must have softened many of those ungentle feelings, which such an elevation is apt to excite. It may with truth be said of him, - that he rose by " fair means," and in a high station bore' his faculties meekly. i.3y the very diligent applica tion of an uncommonly quick, clear, and distinguishing mind he became so learned in .his profession, that the late Lord Chief Justice Gibbs (himself one of the greatest lawyers of his age,) assured the present writer, that since the death of Dunning, he )sad known no man equal as a general lawyer, to Gifford. He had the gift of conveying the subtle dis t.inctions and abstruse learning of the law, with a very .rare union of - perspicuity and brevity. ,He was soon distin guished on the Western Circuit, where the friendship of two such admirable persons as Horner and Lens,_ was an earnest of the esteem of wise and good men. He was sought out by Ministers,. to all of whom he was personally unknown, to fill the office of Solicitor-General. Sir Samuel Bomilly, a severe, but most upright Judge, in the House of Commons declared his satisfaction that the appointment bad been made on the fair principle of professional merit. It was his lot to hold office in a stormy season, but all who knew him will bear a testimony now unsuspected,that the performance of rigorous duties was uncongelial to his nature. The most remarkable display of his talents was made on a splendid theatre, but on an occasion so painful, that to revive the remembrance of it more distinctly would not be in unison with his amiable temper. He was ap pointed, with universal approbation, Lord Chief. Justice of the Court of C.:i - mon' Pleas, with a title of honour which seemed to be the pledge of higher advancement. When the immense accumulation of Scotch appeals was thought to reiptire some. alteration in the appellant juris diction, Lord Gifford was chosen for his unequalled know ledge of' Scottish law to carry the new measure into-effect, aid for that purpose Wits appointed to the newly created office of Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. Various opinions existed about the necessity of the office, but there was no diversity of opinion about the fitness ; of the man, and it was universally owned • that he was ,selected for his fitness. The Journals of Parliament will attest the speed with which he removed the mass of the undecided appeals, and the - unanimous applause of Scotch lawyers, is the best evidence of the wisdom, learning, and justice, with which 'he accomplished that arduous task., Among the numerous body who have risen from the middle classes to the highest stations of the law, it will be hard to name any individual who owed his preferment more certainly to a belief of his merit than Lord Gifford; or who possessed more of those virtues which are most fitted to disaain jealousy naturally attendant on great and sudden advancement. • . in (From the Pottery Mercury.) "We give another part of our paper a short account of the death, &c. of Lord Gifford. It is not generally known that this gifted individual wrote the leading ar ticles for the original Pottery Gazelle, from its commence ment to its death, or rather its suspension. This was in the year 1809, and about the period at which Mr. Gifford was called to the bar. The politics.of Mr. Gifford were of the Tory class; but without violence or rancour. The Proprietdr of this Journal, at the above period, edited the Stajbed.rhire• Advertiser; and was thus, from difference of political opinions, brought frequently into cos iet with the then rising Lawyer and liarrister. ° • (,The object of the 'Move paragraph, which we have copied from the Gazette,. is to make its readers believe that the present journal of that name, is 11:"' continuation of the Pottery Gazette which was commenced in the year 1809 and discontinued in the year 1810. The writer of it must indeed be possessed of a very powerful (lialvanie bat tery, to enable him to revive a Journal, with which he had never any connection, after a "suspention", of eleven years. If there tan be any continuation of the original Pottery paper, it must be the Pottery Mercitty, for its proprietor was the publisher and part proprietor of the Gazette, during the first eight months of its existence. — The boast of the" conflict" .1/ reminds us of a story told of a peasant in France, who - hAtl been in Paris, and fret quently boasted " that the King bad spoken to him ;" and upon being asked how the conversation teak place, replied, " Why, twos standing in hiss way, and lie gave me a kick behind" (on his seat of honour, we presume), and said, " Get out of my way, you dirty fellow." The peasant bud more 'cause for boasting than - the Editor of the Gazette, for we have examined all Lord Gifford'a articles in the papers from Jan. t, 1809,.t0 April 16, 1810, inclusive, and have haves not seen one solitary remark concerning the then Editor of the Stqford shire Advertiser, in any of the num bers. Mr. Amphlett's name indeed. Mentioned Once ; bpi that is as the author of a most serious kind of comic called Ned Bentley, to which we may refer the laughter!' of our readers some day.] yRENCH PAPERS. Fratri the Dade.)

(From the Constitutionnel.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, Aun. 31.--Every-thing here appears - to an nounce-an approaching change in the direction of affairs. Our Ministers appear willing to retrace their Steps, and disposed - to make some concess►ons to the true public opi nion of the country. But whilst this is passing at Ma drid, the state of anarchy into which we are plunged is such, that in the interior contrary sentiments prevail ; for not only every Governor of a province, but every petty Aleade is a monarch, who has his peculiar system, to which the orders issued by Goiernment are made subservient. (From the Courier Francais.) . . (PRIVATF. CORRESPONDIENCE.) • MADRID, AUG. 31.—The Duke de L'lnfantndo has, at last, been sent to- his country seat. The reason assigned is that several diplomatic notes written to him during his ministry, by Mr. Lamb, had - not been found. He is con sidered accountable for the loss of them. It is to be noticed that his Excellen4 was in the habit of receiving all sorts of papers, without transmitting them to any one, so that if any of the heads of the offices wished to get one of these papers, they were obliged to have recourse to the favourite valet of the Duke. The pockets of his Excellency served as a general receiving place during his Ministry.-- lie had likewise a custom of neglecting to present to the King such diplomatic notes as he conceived would afflict his Majesty. The whole of the letters from Cadiz concur in asserting, that the part of the French army that occupies that place is making preparations for returning to France ; that the Hospitals and Artillery are embarked, and that none will remairi;exCept what are absolutely necessary to garrison Cadiz and the Island of Leon. (From the journal des Debats.) CORFU, Auc. 23.—Letters of the best authority, from the Morea, announce that Ibrahim Paella, in consequence of the annoyance and fatigues which he experienced in the country. of the Mainotes, has suffered repeated attacks of fever. Thia would be the moment to act on the offensive against him, .or at least to take . gaod defensive measures againSthim;' but instead 'of - uniting to make active 'bead, the Greeks are now more than ever a prey to intestine dissenSions. Three parties at present govern at Napoli di Romania—the Government shut up in the little chateau Boudge, dictates every day orders which nobody obeys; the Suliotes and Romeliotes, united, are masters of the fort of Palamidos; Colocotroni, With about 2,000 men, occupies the city; and has made, up to this day, several vain attempts to take possession of the fortresses. The Suliotes - are the only class whom the approach of danger does not intimidate. They . pass their time pleasantly, and await with gaiety the moment of sacrificing their lives, which will not come Unattended by glory, though it may be unproductive of national advantage. ' In the meantime, the advanced guard of the Turks, four thousand strong, is employed in making daily attacks on the city of Athens, which is defended by only a small num ber of Romeliote Gyeeks, who show considerable firm ness. Some of the inhabitants, however, seek opportuni ties every night, under cover of darkness, to escape to Salamis. Colonel Fabvier, in an entrenched camp, at Methana, with about five hundred soldiers, watches every movement of the enemy, without daring to attack them. He is to relieve Athens. Other detachments of his troops are at Napoli and at Hydra. One hundred and fifty of these re gulars have deserted in a body, with their arms and bag- gase. Re brave Miaulis, anti other Admirals, sustain the honour of the Greek flag, on the waters of the Archipelago, in the midst of the obstacles thrown in their way by the European squadrons. (most A PRIVATE LETTER.) 'AMON, AUG. 26.--The Ganges MAI► of war, which I told you in my last hual come into our port, with the new English Ambassador to. Rio Janeiro, will not sail till about. the beginning of September. It is a fact, as I mentioned to you, that his Excellency has put in here for the purpose of obtaining information of the passing events, and enabling himself to give a detailed account of them to the Emperor Don Pedro. The soldiers of the four companies of the Guard of Po lice, who intetided to rebel on the night of the 22d or 23d of August, have been conducted on board the Portuguese man-of-war Saint &hastier', which lies in the river without rigging or arms. They are guarded there by a detach ment of troops of the line; it is positively said that they will be.sent to the Azores, 'but up to the 'present moment no decision hait been come to on the subject. It would appear, however, from th© investigation that has been made that a great number of the soldiers had no wish to take part in the conspiracy, and that they had no other means of deciding how they should act, than putting them selves in the state of readiness in which they were found at the moment they were disarmed; but in that state of readiness to act, showed it was with reluctance they had obeyed the leaders of the conspiracy, by allowing . them selves, without the slightest opposition, to be deprived of their arms by the Ist Regiment of the Cavalry of the Line, and the Bth Chasseurs, the corps charged with the duty of disarming them. The Colonel of the Guard - of Police, Baron de Portella, has: been arrested, and sent to the fort Reuiche, on the side of the bar of Lisbon. Some other officers of the same corps have been like• wise arrested, and committed to Fort Saint George. (PRIVATF. CORRESPONDENCV..) IVIADRID, AVG. 31.—A French Cabinet 'courier arrived here on the morning of the 286, and in the. evening a second arrived, with whom M. Salmon, Minister of Po reign Affairs, ad interim, set out for San Ildefonso. On his return to Madrid next day, that Mini f ter despatched a courier for Paris. It is said that the courier, w►th whom M. Salmon went to San Ildefonso, announced to our Government the mere simple recognition by the Cabinet of the nuilleries, of the Portuguese Constitution. An extraordinary co►nier arrived last night from Ma— jorca, in seven days, bringing the news of an English squadron having appeared off that island. It consisted of a ship of the line, two frigates, and two brigs. No one has been ►surprised at this, because it was wall known that the negociations at present carrying on with our Govern ment, by Mr. Lamb, Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Bri tain, would - be enforced by the presence of an English squadron in the Mediterranean, which squadron, in ease of necessity,' was to take possession of the Balearic Isles. CORONER'S INQUEST.—MURDER ON SAFFRON . - Ull i t.,—Yesterilay afternoon an Inquest ,was held before Mr. I:3Tiat.isro, Coroner for Middlesex, at the Hog in Armour, Great Saffron-hill, on the body of Anne Perry, who was found murdered in her apartment last Tuesday morning. The Jury, after a minute investigation of the facts, returned a verdict of—" Wil- Murder against John Ambrose," who has not yet been appre hended.—lt seems that Ambrose has a son at Hampstead, to whose house he repaired a shost time after the murder. He was heard, On leaving his room, to mutter to himself " Now, go over the water;" but it is supposed that he cannot go from lack of funds. The officers are all op the alert. . s,. son DARING ATTENI it PT AT OBBERY.--Last night Ire ten and eleven o'clock, a gentleman named Daniell a re , yeetabk tradesman in Nat ton Falgate, was returning froth p4esong the evening in company with a friend at Stoke Newing 14n; when arrivial midway between Newington-green and Ball's pond Turnpike, he was accosted by an elderly man, who hegg et Hardens st o pp e d and the price o f a lodging, as l ot hail nowhere to put his head.

We received last night the several Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning ; extracts from these papers will be found in a preceding column. The Journal des Debats, on the authority of a private letter from Madrid, states that a courier had arrived in that city on the 30th ult. from Majorca, in seven days, bringing the news of an English squadron having appeared off' that island, consisting of a ship of the line, two frigates, and two brigs, the object of which was to support certain demands made of the Court of Madrid by Mr. Lwafa, the Minister of this country, and to take possession of the Balearic islands, if those demands were not acceded to. The Eloile declares this statement to be false in every particular, and also denies the reports of the movements of troops at the camp of St. Rock. The accounts from Lisbon reach only to the 26thspf August, and contain nothing but what we knew before. From Odessa private communications come down to the 20th of August, which state that all the letters from Akermann announce that the issue of the eon ferenceB between the Russian. and Turkish Commis sioners is expected to be unfavourable. The restitu tion of the Asiatic fortresses will be the stumbling block to the adjustment of the long pending differences between these countries. Letters from Corfu repeat the statement of . 'BRA- PACHA having suffered repeated attacks of fever, brought on probably by fatigue and the mortification of his recent check. In other respects the Greek cause seems to be nearly in the same state as former accounts communicated. FILINCH FUNDS.—PARIS, Stn. I L —Five per Cents. closed at 98f. 70c.; Three per Cents., 66f. 25c. ; Rentes de Naples, 73f. 40c. ; Spanish Loan, 461 f. If we might believe the accounts contained in some of the French Papers from Madrid, an approaching change of the policy of the Government may be looked for. The Ministers are said to be willing to retrace their steps, and disposed to make some concession to public opinion. But the acts of persons in authority in Spain belie the statements given in these Papers; and prove that the Government are as fully determined as at any former period, to maintain ." things as they are"—as far as their power (if it may be so called) will allow them to do so. An instance of this deter mination is afforded by the Circular, which General O'DoNNEL, the Captain General of the Provinces of Valencia and Murcia has addressed to the Officers under his command, and to the Chiefs of the Royalist Volunteers. This worthy instrument of bigotry and ignorance, after noticing the innovations sought to be introduced into Portugal, and the orders given in consequence by his Royal Master, states that he has directed the Pro vincial Authorities to pay the utmost attention to the language and conduct of such persons as are suspected of partiality to the new order of things, and to pro secute not only such persons, and all who attempt to disturb the peace, with the, utmost rigour of the law, but all who manifest pleasure at the progress of the Portz gicese Revolution . I —and he then calls upon the military to aid and assist the Civil Power in en forcing these instructions. , c Spain, however," he says " is satisfied with the absolute Government of its well beloved Sovereign. " Our Readers must judge for themselves of the blind obedience requi re d b y t hi s too l o f ar bit rar y p ower, w h o Nuvpisohleisthtoe a p ir reLe s nt of t . h a e n e o x t r ie re r ssion of an opinion, even Kingdom, and we there fore publish his address at length. The human mind can never be kept for any length of period in the state of subjection which the Government of Spain finds it necessary, to end eavour to en f orce , i n regar d to i ts sub jects, for the p reservation of its weak and precarious authority. " (Amon.** OF tIENTRAT. o'DONNEN l IAPTAIN-GENERAL OP THE PROVINCES or VALENCIA AND HURCIA, To THE orricsus LINDER. His COMMAND, AND ID Tilt CHIEFS or THE ItoYAEisP VOLUNTICIMS. " The innovations which are wished to he introduced into the forms of the Portuguese Govervanant, in seriously cortrotnisingthe ttittluillity which Portugal enjoyed, have occupied the whole attention of the King, our master, who has transmitted to his subjects several orders anti decrees addressed" to the military authorities, and has ordered the Governor of the Council of Castile: to communicate them to Ayuntamientos (municipalities) of the kingdom. " These instructions and decrees have been addressed to me in my quality of Governot of these provinces. They have all for their object the maintenance of the tranquillity which the absolute and paternal Government of his Majesty has established, and which the King recommends to their support under their personal responsibility. The justices of the kingdom must excite the greatest surveillance over the conversations and conductof persons marked by public opinion for their zeal in favour of the disorderly and criminal system which they call constitutional. " The same instructions recommend to justices to watch over travellers, and over all persons Who leave their domi cile without a motive sufficiently proved, which persons are to be arrested and prosecuted conformably to the rigour of the laws.• " The justices are likewise to show their rigour, not only against any person who should endeavour to disturb public order by any means whatever, but against every per son who may testify any joy or pride in consequence of the late events in Portugal, considering such person by that act alone to be revolutionary, because by such demon strations he evidently shows a criminal though impotent desire to see Spain made a prey to the disorders which distract Portugal, and from which we shall ilways be pre served by the wisdom of our Government, and by the docile loyalty of Spaniards, who remember what they had to stiffer during the late revolution. " It is an incontestible principle that the zeal of the su perior authorities is powerless if the subordinate authorities do not contribute their assistance in displaying the greatest energy in obeying and punctually executing the orders which they receive. As for myself, lam firmly resolved to overcome every obstacle opposed to• the service of the King, to compel every person to fulfil his duties, and to punish promptly and severely every one who may show a criminal indolence in the execution of .the sacred duties imposed upon him. " It is with the view of making this known to you that I address to you the present circular, by which I likewise command you to maintain a perfect understanding with the civil authorities, to aid them in all that depends upon you, and to communicate to me every fault or negligence which you may remark in the authorities, that I may adopt the measures with regard to,them that the service of the King requires. " You will cause to be known to all, that notwithstand ing the projects which revolutionists may form, the tran quillity which we enjoy will not be ,troubled, because the Spanish nation is satisfied with the absolute government of its well-beloved Sovereign, who has deigned to tran quillize his faithful subjects by declaring solemnly that be will never permit the introduction of Chambers or other institutions contrary to the manners and laws of Spain. " The five provinces of Murcia have at all times furnished an example of the purest loyalty; but if disturbers should dare to show themselves in any part of them, I have un der my command four squadrons, eight battalions of troops of the line, and 26,000 royal volunteers, ready to sacrifice themselves for the King, and to obey my voice, which will always guide them in the path of honour. " Valencia, Aug. 18. (Signed) ".1. O'DONNE.L." The Allgemeine Zeitung to the 7th instant, reach ed us last night. An article dated Trieste, Aug. 31, states, a Captain who has arrived there in twenty-eight days from Samos, reports that the Turkish and Greek 4ets were still cruising off Samoa in sight of each other. Nothing was known in the lonian Islands of the movements of Lord Coc If RA NE. A Liege Journal states that it has accounts from Rio de Janeiro, according to which the Diplomatic Agent of the Netherlands in that city, had no favoura ble prospect of concluding a commercial treaty with Brazil, because he had frequently disregarded the eti quette of the Court. For example ; he rode to Court in a chaise, instead of a state carriage ; presented to the Emperor the insignia of the 'Order sent him by the KING, without first pulling off his glove; put on his hat again alto the first compliments, &c. We subjoin an extract from the Austrian Observer, giving accounts from Constantinople to the 10th Aug. according to which the severe measures against the Janissaries were abating, and business by degrees re viving : " The rigour hitherto exercised by the Government to wards the adherents of the Janissaries and all persons who had been noticed on preceding occasions for their partici pation in rebellion and acts of violence—a rigour which showed itself in numerous executions and sentences of banishment, combined with measures of police usually re sorted to only in times of great danger, has now in a great degree abated; the executions have almost entirely ceased. The coffee-houses and taverns are gradually opened again, and freedom in trade and business is on the same footing as before. The uneasiness and discontent which latterly had been pretty loudly expressed, are dispelled, and the inhabitants of the capital are convinced that urgent neces sity alone obliged the Government to employ such severe measures. The hope, however, that the standard of the Prophet would be taken down, and the camp in the Court of the Seraglio be broken up, has dot been fulfilled, even at the beginnin g o f t h e mont h of Moharrem, the commence ment of the Mahometan year. The most satisfactory ac counts continue to be received from the provinces respect ing the manner in which the dissolution of the Janissaries and the introduction of the new order of things has been effected. This is especially the case at Aleppo, where the most opposition was expected from the numerous Janissaries." Van Dieman's Land Papers to the 15th of April, were received yesterday. They contain nothing interesting, except accounts of the final extermination of the Bush-rangers. Some alleged delinquencies on the part of the local authorities are discussed, as well as certain opinions advanced in a letter of the Lieutenant Governor, in which he asserted that the outrages of the Bush rangers, had been excited by the licentiousness] of the Colonial. Press. The erection of a' Scots Church on the Macquarrie was i n contemplation, and it had been resolved to endow it with a stipend of 100/. per annum, for its Minister. Wheat had fallen to 7s. per bushel. It appears by the French Papers, that the recent gales have raged with great fury along the coasts of Normandy. The storm of the 6th and 7th occasioned several shipwrecks at Dieppe. On the ►tight of the 7th and Bth, part of the basins of that town were de stroyed, and the town itself was under water. The tempest also was very violent at Havre. Some vessels foundered—and large trees were torn up by the roots on the road from Havre to Rouen. Dutch Papers to the 11th inst., have also come to hand. They contain advices from Java to the 24th March, at which time the war still continued, and it was supposed would continue until a reinforcement of 3,000 or 4,000 men, at (east, from Europe should arrive. The mass of the population, however, remained faithful to the Government. These Papers also con lain the following extraordinary account of the pre servation of a child from the attack of a ferocious wolf, in Croatia " On the 14th of this month a little girl named Barbara Dusek was employed in tending a herd of cattle near the village of Ivanezi, about a league from Agram. AU at once the child was attacked and-bitten by a hungry wolf. A very remarkable circumstance, or rather a wonderful in terposition of Divine Providence, is the manner in which the child was saved from the wolf, to which she seemed already to have fallen a prey. The cows and oxen grazing in the meadow all ran to the spot, attacked the wild beast with their horns, and thus delivered the child from certain death. Its cries, and the extraordinary commotion observ ed among the cattle, attracted the peaaanta at work in the fields . to the spot. They immediately went in pursuit of the wolf, and had the good fortune to kill it the day fol lowing. A skilful surgeon being immediately called in, it is expected that the child will be speedily recovered." The Consul of the United States for Vera era and Alvarado, has published in the Vera Cruz Pape a notice requiring the Masters of American ships of war and merchantmen, not to receive passenger s on board without the permission of the Commandants of the respective ports. It is said that upon the death of Lord GI FF O " being announced to the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lordship felt so deeply affected that he inunechately tendered his resignation, which was refused by the Government. The letter of refusal on this occasion, it is mentioned, but we attach no importa nce to the circumstance, came from the Minister, — a nd not fro m a higher quarter.' The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was yesterday ill CO' ference with the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. TIN" DAL for two hours, and it was confidently expected, both yesterday and to-day, that the ATTORNEY -6k'. NERAL would have been sworn in as Master of the Rolls. The delay on both days has been occasioned, as we are assured, not by any demur or difficulty as to the substance of the intended arrangement, but simply from the circumstance that some necessary documen" could not be prepared in due time. Among the on dits of the day, it is positively state° that the Lord Chief Baron ALEXANDER will he appointed Deputy Speaker in the House of Lord s ' but not elevated to the Peerage :—that Sir C.
